Top 4 will be Barca, Madrid(X2) and Valencia. I think that Sevilla will probably have a bad season and Atletico might take their place with the top teams.

Interesting prediction but I think Valencia should remain in the top 4 at least, losing out on a creative midfielder will hurt but if Baraja can stay relatively healthy they are on paper good enough to fight for the title and make some progress in Europe.

I think Atletico will be serious contenders - their performances in the preseason have been stunning and fluid - and Valencia have some real talent (half of Spain national's starting XI hail from Los Che). Villareal, on the other hand, still can't count on Juan Roman Riquelme. Even though he's scheduled to be in Spain for the start of La Liga (some say it's just so he can pick up a limited edition mini-cooper, and then high-tail it back to Argentina), in the past, even when he's on the squad, he's been one foot in, one foot out, constantly in absentia. Oh yeah, and don't count out Zaragoza, with Diego Milito up front (for now), Pavon taking the younger Milito's place and joining Aimar and Diogo in the back, and a solid midfield to boot, they'll be a threat as well. Whatever the case, this will be another year of brilliant football in Spain. I can't wait! I’m suprised that Villareal made your top four over both Atletico and Valencia.
